Ok, WHY is it that warm booting boots the file system and resets the network?
Usually when I warm boot, it's because I've done something stupid and crashed
the machine.  That does NOT mean that I want all of my open files to abort, or
that I want all of my telnet connections to wedge.  If I was of that mindset,
I'd probably be off in the corner right now flagelating myself in search of 
enlightenment.

It may be that warm-booting hardware-resets the ethernet board, making open
connections invalid (?) but the filesystem is just this big tree-structure in
memory.  I can't see any reason to re-read that other than plain spitefulness.

(Ok I'm done ranting now.)			-- Jamie
